Overview

Customer Self Service's Click & Collect functionality allows users to order products online and collect them at a store location convenient to them. Click & Collect can be a great sales driver, as it may save the customer shipping costs, as well as allowing them to receive their goods much more quickly.

With Click & Collect functionality, the user can set their pickup location ('My Store') at any time during their visit.

Setting their preferred store allows the pickup availability to be displayed to the user. If the user changes their pickup store, the availability will be re-calculated and the page will refresh with changes. 

Products may display a different availability status for delivery, as the customer's default warehouse is used to calculate availability for this fulfillment method. A B2B user who switches to another account may see different delivery availability if the new account code has a different default warehouse. 

 

 

Store Locator

Before Click & Collect can be implemented, it's imperative that a Store Locator has been populated with valid pickup locations. Refer to this guide for instructions - Pickup Warehouses / Store Locator.

For each location, the following fields are of special importance for Click & Collect: 

 

System Settings

There are several system settings to configure for Click & Collect. These can be found in the CMS under 'Settings' --> 'Settings'.

  1. Enable the functionality - tick 'Enable Store Availability Click And Collect'
  2. Set the following stock levels for availability calculation:
  3. Decide how to handle order restrictions (in other words, whether you will accept the online order even if the product is deemed 'unavailable')
  4. Enable Nearby Store Availability (optional):
  5. Set the 'Store Avail Click and Collect Deliv Display Mode' (to determine Delivery availability logic):
  6. Configure Email Settings:
  7. Set the 'Store Location Google Api Maps Uri' as follows: https://maps.googleapis.com/maps/api/js?key=
  8. Ensure the website has its unique 'Google API Key' populated.
